The question you’re bringing up is why do people consume entertainment. Is it for the memes, or is it for the artifact (like a movie)? If you believe it’s for the memes, then extended reviews like RLM wouldnt be allowed. If you believe it’s for the artifact as the creator meant for you to consume it, then RLM is off the hook. Personally I don’t think people consume entertainment for the memes, at least not primarily. The memes arise from the interpretation of the individual and the group that consumes the entertainment. The creators of the artifact mean for you to consume it in a specific way, and if you reproduce that without their permission then you are violating copyright.
